Unique African Cichlids

[BriTheFishGuy]

I'm sure we all love unique looking fish, hence the reason why we love the African Cichlids so much. The first one that really attracted me to this Cichlid category were these Mdoka White Lips. Anyone else have recommendations for unique fish; lips, color, all unique attributes are welcome. Thanks.

For African fish, I like Lake Tanganyika fish.
1)Black Calvus
It has the "tribal look" and the body is full of polka dot when they grow larger.

2)Neolamprologus Caudupunctatus
It has blue eyes and yellow fins like Caucasian even though its from Africa.

3)Frontosa
I like especially the Blue Zaire Frontosa. Its beautiful.

I love the Nimbochromis venustus and if you are doing lake malawi, it could work. I also really like Tropheus duboisi which is from lake tanganyika. Super cool fish.

Yes! The Blue Zaire Frontosa and the Nimbochromis venustus look beautiful. The Blue dolphin is another favorite of mine!
